Psalm 66 (WEBP)
[1] Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
[2] Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
[3] Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
[4] All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
[5] Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
[6] He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
[7] He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
[8] Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
[9] who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
[10] For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
[11] You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
[12] You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
[13] I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
[14] which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
[15] I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
[16] Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
[17] I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
[18] If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
[19] But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

Psalm 66 (KJVS)
[1] «To the chief Musician H5329 (8764), A Song H7892 [or] Psalm H4210.» Make a joyful noise H7321 (8685) unto God H430, all ye lands H776:
[2] Sing forth H2167 (8761) the honour H3519 of his name H8034: make H7760 (8798) his praise H8416 glorious H3519.
[3] Say H559 (8798) unto God H430, How terrible H3372 (8737) [art thou in] thy works H4639! through the greatness H7230 of thy power H5797 shall thine enemies H341 (8802) submit H3584 (8762) themselves unto thee.
[4] All the earth H776 shall worship H7812 (8691) thee, and shall sing H2167 (8762) unto thee; they shall sing H2167 (8762) [to] thy name H8034. Selah H5542.
[5] Come H3212 (8798) and see H7200 (8798) the works H4659 of God H430: [he is] terrible H3372 (8737) [in his] doing H5949 toward the children H1121 of men H120.
[6] He turned H2015 (8804) the sea H3220 into dry H3004 [land]: they went H5674 (8799) through the flood H5104 on foot H7272: there did we rejoice H8055 (8799) in him.
[7] He ruleth H4910 (8802) by his power H1369 for ever H5769; his eyes H5869 behold H6822 (8799) the nations H1471: let not the rebellious H5637 (8802) exalt H7311 (8799) (8675) H7311 (8686) themselves. Selah H5542.
[8] O bless H1288 (8761) our God H430, ye people H5971, and make the voice H6963 of his praise H8416 to be heard H8085 (8685):
[9] Which holdeth H7760 (8802) our soul H5315 in life H2416, and suffereth H5414 (8804) not our feet H7272 to be moved H4132.
[10] For thou, O God H430, hast proved H974 (8804) us: thou hast tried H6884 (8804) us, as silver H3701 is tried H6884 (8800).
[11] Thou broughtest H935 (8689) us into the net H4686; thou laidst H7760 (8804) affliction H4157 upon our loins H4975.
[12] Thou hast caused men H582 to ride H7392 (8689) over our heads H7218; we went H935 (8804) through fire H784 and through water H4325: but thou broughtest us out H3318 (8686) into a wealthy H7310 [place].
[13] I will go H935 (8799) into thy house H1004 with burnt offerings H5930: I will pay H7999 (8762) thee my vows H5088,
[14] Which my lips H8193 have uttered H6475 (8804), and my mouth H6310 hath spoken H1696 (8765), when I was in trouble H6862.
[15] I will offer H5927 (8686) unto thee burnt sacrifices H5930 of fatlings H4220, with the incense H7004 of rams H352; I will offer H6213 (8799) bullocks H1241 with goats H6260. Selah H5542.
[16] Come H3212 (8798) [and] hear H8085 (8798), all ye that fear H3373 God H430, and I will declare H5608 (8762) what he hath done H6213 (8804) for my soul H5315.
[17] I cried H7121 (8804) unto him with my mouth H6310, and he was extolled H7311 (8785) (8676) H7318 (8785) with H8478 my tongue H3956.
[18] If I regard H7200 (8804) iniquity H205 in my heart H3820, the Lord H136 will not hear H8085 (8799) [me]:
[19] [But] verily H403 God H430 hath heard H8085 (8804) [me]; he hath attended H7181 (8689) to the voice H6963 of my prayer H8605.
[20] Blessed H1288 (8803) [be] God H430, which hath not turned away H5493 (8689) my prayer H8605, nor his mercy H2617 from me.
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 66 (YLT)
[1] Shout ye to God, all the earth.
[2] Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
[3] Say to God, ‘How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
[4] All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.’ Selah.
[5] Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
[6] He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
[7] Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
[8] Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
[9] Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
[10] For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
[11] Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
[12] Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
[13] I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
[14] For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
[15] ‘Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.’ Selah.
[16] Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
[17] Unto Him with my mouth I have called, And exaltation is under my tongue.
[18] Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
[19] But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
[20] Blessed is God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
